Death By Hypocrisy?

If conditions of post-modernity and capitalism have bred a population of "sophisticated profit maximizers" who need to consistently protect their illusion of impermeability through violence and dispossession [theft], then what we should lobby for is the acceptance of complex personal vulnerability -- a shift in perception of strength that would come not from donning body armor (and carrying an M-16), but from acceptance of interdependency -- on other humans, other creatures, [and most importantly] the air and water and land that sustains us. –Andrea Bennett
